To Love Thy Self: The 1st Plot
Phase 2
Let's all go to the Lobby! And get ourselves a Fhara
"So if we divide 2 from the 450 we solved for A, then both sides would equal out to 225. Now that we found the exact halves of both sides, let's now solve for C." the math teacher explained as he then wrote down something incoherent on the board.
In the crowd of confused and head scratching teens, Asriel and Frisk sat in seats next to each other so they could secretly discuss the set up. Meanwhile upfront, Chara had been wondering why they chose to sit in the far back. 'They usually sit closer to me, so why did they choose to sit in the back? Is it me?' Chara wondered as they continued to listen to complicated math equations that they barely understood.
'You know what to do, right?' Frisk asked in ASL.
Asriel gave them a thumbs up and then the bell rang.
Chara sighed in relieved and followed the crowd out the door while the teacher tried to call out: "Chapter 15: questions 1-15 are due after you get back from break. Happy Holidays!" He then waited until they all left to then take out a bottle of wine. "You filthy animals."
After catching up with them, Asriel tapped Chara on the shoulder. "Howdy Chara."
"What is it Azie? I'm kind of pre-occupied at the moment." they asked somewhat annoyed.
"I'm just wondering, did you have any luck finding the person or monster that sent you the letters?"
"Not really, but here's a strange thing that has happened, they just suddenly stopped leaving letters on my locker. It's been about 3 days since they left one here." Chara explained with a trouble brow.
"What could that mean?" Asriel asked.
"I think it either means they finally gave up, or they're trying to play with my head. Well," Chara then shouted at the crowds behind them: "IF YOU'RE THE ONE LEAVING THE LETTERS, I'M NOT PLAYING YOUR STUPID ASS GAME!"
Asriel rubbed on his ears to ease the pain from Chara's shouting. "Ow, you didn't have to yell! Oh and here," he took out a note and handed it to them. "This was on my locker and look what it says."
Chara took it and read the front of the folded note. "Send this to my love. Are you kidding me?" They then unfolded the note and read the contents on the page:
"You must be wondering why I told your friend/brother to give you this is, it's because I couldn't go through with giving/leaving it with you myself. I also heard that you're looking for me, if you must know who is leaving these well thought and full-hearted letters, then meet me tonight at the Caviler Theaters after school. There you'll know when you see me.
With love, Your secret admi-
"Damn ambiguous note!" Chara shouted as they crumpled the note.
"Looks like they're ready to meet you face to face." Arsiel commented.
Chara simply nodded and then added: "I highly doubt they want to meet me face to face now, because right now I just want to beat them so hard, their funeral would need to be a closed casket service because their death was so brutal."
"Wow, well have fun with that, but I got to get on home now." Asriel said as he started to walk to the door.
"Wait, why are heading off in such a hurry?" Chara asked.
"Frisk and I have, 'plans' tonight. I promised them I get ready to meet them somewhere." Asriel answered.
"Is that why you guys were sitting in the back of class last hour?"
"Yeah, sorry about not telling you earlier. But I really got to go now, so I'll see you later Chara!" Asriel ran out the door.
Chara stood there dumb founded and confused by Asriel's departure. 'Azie, Azie, Azie, looks like he has a little crush on my good side. I guess I can't complain much, at least you don't have to leave constant letters on their locker to try and flatter them. Now,' Chara held up the crumpled note. 'Let's see if my little 'admirer' shows up tonight. I've been dying to get my hands on that little punk.'
Later the Evening
Frisk stood outside the doors of Caviler Theaters, waiting for one oblivious hottie. 'Huh, I wonder where that came from.' Frisk thought as they took out their phone and saw that they received a text from Asriel.
Frisk, not going to be able to make it tonight.
Sorry :( GATP.
Frisk smiled and then looked around until they saw Chara wondering around trying to look for their 'admirer'. Although they never went out much, but when Chara goes out, they wear something that looks punkish, believing that it'll make them look like someone not to tango with. Frisk loved the look, at least it's better than their signature blue and purple sweater and jeans.
Frisk then blushed when Chara looked at their direction and caught them staring at the other, and then proceeded to make their way to the other.
"Frisk? Why are you here?" Chara asked.
'I was going to the movies with A-S-R-I-E-L, but then he cancelled on me." Frisk said in ASL as they showed them Asriel's text.
Chara read it and then laughed. "And here I thought he was asking you out because he liked you. But I guess he couldn't go through with it. Anyway, what the hell is 'GATP'?"
Frisk shrugged their shoulders and then asked: 'Why are you here?'
"I'm looking for this 'admirer' person. I was wondering if you knew who they were." Chara answered.
"You're looking at them, you handsome devil." Frisk said in their thoughts but then said: 'No I don't know. Sorry.'
With a sigh, Chara then turned around and concluded. "I guess they chickened out as well. I'll be taking my leave then." They started to walk away, but was stopped when Frisk produced a ticket for them. "What?"
'Since Asriel couldn't come, I was wondering if you wanted to see the movie with me." Frisk blushed as they asked.
Chara looked down at the ticket and then went wide eye as they asked: "Middle row seats for 'THE RETURN OF THE SLASHER!'. You got tickets for the sequel of my all-time favorite movie?! Frisk, how did you get these? This movie has been sold out for weeks!"
'Remember when Papyrus and Undyne went to Hollywood to discuss a possible movie deal? Well they met and befriended the director for this movie and got promised two tickets.' Frisk explained.
"No way, and Asriel was going to cheat me out of tickets so he could take you to this movie, while he knew that I wanted to see this movie too! That sheepy little prick!" Chara growled.
Frisk patted their shoulder and gestured them to follow. Chara looked at them funny, but then Frisk took their ticket out of their hand and handed both tickets to the person behind a podium; who then ripped them in half and then handed the halves back to them. "Enjoy the show you two."
Karaoke Until the Night becomes Dawn
Soon Johnny Chase was able to blow the head off the Slasher and walk over to his girlfriend Jannet and French kissed her. "After a long night of running, avoiding impossible odds, and finally defeating the slasher, I can say that we're safe once again."
"Johnny, I love you, but I have a confession to make." Jannet began.
"And what would that be?" Johnny asked.
Suddenly the audience screamed as Jannet pulled out a bowie knife and stabs her lover in the neck. "I was the slasher the whole time." She confessed as the audience gasped and clapped when the credits rolled.
Frisk came out of the theater completely shivering with their eyes wide opened. They never liked to watch scary movies much. Last time was when they were 12. Frisk got so scared, they haven't left Toriel's bed for a week.
Chara however, was praising the movie for improving the thrills, but criticized the story and dialog for being too cliché and being structured so simply, that a 3 year old could have wrote most of it.
Chara then stopped their rambling and turned to Frisk and brought them in for a hesitant hug. "Thank you Frisk. Although I tease you and Asriel a lot, I really appreciate you inviting me along."
Frisk gave them the thumbs up and then said: 'The night is still young, you want to get a bite to eat before we head back?'
Chara thought about it for a moment, but shrugged and answered: "Why not, it's not like I have anything else to do. What's there to eat?"
Frisk took a look around and then spotted a little restaurant named the: 'Big Ace, Bar, Grill, and Karaoke.'
Chara followed their line of sight and then said: "No,"
Frisk turned to them and smiled.
"No," Chara repeated.
But Frisk had a card up their sleeve. They opened their usually closed eyes and gave Chara the peppiest of all puppy dog eyes that they could muster.
Chara's lips went into a slight frown, but they could barely keep their eyes off the others'. Frisk then started to tear up and quiver their lower lip.
Chara then growled as they said: "Curse you, fine. We can eat there."
Before Chara could pout, Frisk dragged them to through the front entrance and stood in front of the waiter. "Welcome to the Big Ace, how might I help you tonight?"
Chara nervously said: "Uh, table for two please."
"Table or booth?"
Chara turned to Frisk and Frisk was telling them: 'B-O-O-T-H."
"Booth." Chara confirmed.
"Alrighty then, please follow me." The waiter said as he gestured them to follow.
After being seated and after they ordered their food, Frisk and Chara noticed the lights go off and then heard the announcer, well, announce: "Ladies, Gentlemen, and persons with unspecified genders, please put your hands together for the sexiest robot of all time, Mettaton!"
"Oh no," Chara muttered.
At the same time they said that, Mettaton then said a loud. "Oh, yes!"
The spot light then shined on the closed curtains. Then Mettaton exposed his leg as the curtains then slowly rolled up. The music started to play and Mettaton then took it away.
(Slow Jazz)
Love makes me treat you, the way that I do, gee baby, ain't I good to you?
There's nothing too good for a boy that's so true, gee baby ain't I good to you?
I bought you a fur coat for Christmas and a Diamond ring!
A Cadillac and, everything!
Love makes me treat you, the way that I do, gee baby, ain't I good to you?!
(Jazz solo)
I know how to make a good man happy,
I'll treat you just right,
With lots of loving just about every night.
I served you candle light dinners,
All the breakfasts in bed,
I took your car to be serviced,
When your engine went dead.
Love makes treat you, the way that I do, but then baby, what do you do?
You left me one night,
No note,
No car,
Not even, a single fight.
I hope you enjoyed the gifts, that the tax man is making me pay for you,
Gee baby, wasn't I goooood, for you?
(Jazz slowly fades)
Everyone but Chara clapped and cheered. Mettaton walked off stage and then gasped when he spotted the duo in the middle of eating.
"Oh my stars! If it isn't my biggest fan Frisk!" Mettaton sat next to them and planted a kiss on their head.
Chara physically flinched, but it went unnoticed by Metta.
"So what brings you two here?" Metta asked Frisk.
Chara looked away trying to avoid having to look at Metta. Frisk made sure they were distracted and answered: 'I'm trying to date C-H-A-R-A, please don't say anything yet though.'
Mettaton winked as he just giggled: "You're just here to watch little ol' me? How sweet of you!" He pinched Frisk's cheek.
"Oh brother," Chara rolled their eyes.
Then Metta had an idea. "Frisk, you should go up and sing a little number for us."
Frisk just blushed and violently shook their head. Chara then laughed.
"Please, Frisk rarely speaks. I highly doubt that Frisk could actually sing."
Frisk frowned and then turned to Metta and told them. 'Set up the microphone.'
Metta smirked and then led Frisk to the stage. Frisk looked through the song list and pointed to the song of their choice and then stepped up to the microphone and then cleared their throat. "Um, ha-hello, I-I'm Fr-Frisk and this is um," they turned around and looked at the next song up. "A song, for ah, s-some, someone special." Frisk smiled nervously and tried their best to not to look at Chara's general direction.
Chara was stunned the moment words left Frisk's lips. Chara knew that, besides talking personally to Toriel, Frisk chose to be mostly mute to everyone including them. Chara then began debating whether the stuttering would affect the outcome of the song and thus Frisk would not speak again, or they might just be dumbfounded if Frisk could prove that they could sing after all.
Frisk took a breath as the song started playing.
I know I'm not that tall,
I know I'm not that smart,
But le'me drive my van into your heart,
Le'me drive my van into your heart.
I know I'm not that rich,
Try'in to get my start,
But le'me drive my van into your heart (wink),
Le'me drive my van into your heart.
If we feel out of place,
Well Maybe that's okay,
I'll drive us into outer space,
Where we can't hear what other people have to say.
(Solo)
I know I don't have a plan,
I'm still working out that part,
So let's play together in the sand,
And stay up to watch the stars.
Le'me drive a van into your heart,
Le'me drive our van into our hearts,
(Final verse)
All I want to do...is drive our little van… into our hearts….
(Final strums)
Frisk bowed as everyone clapped, cheered, and tossed roses onto the stage. Mettaton was screaming at the top of his audiobox, while Chara was stunned and felt their insides tingle with attraction towards their opposite. 'Frisk, not only did you get us into my favorite movie, but you're also a great singer?! I can't believe you would rather be mute then use that beautiful voice of yours. Wait, am I actually falling for them? They said it was for a special someone, did they mean me? No, I can't think of anything excuse that they would love someone who went on a genocide run a few times, killing everyone they love. I know they couldn't fall for someone like me, or would they?'
After the show
After getting everything paid for, Chara, Frisk, and Mettaton went out the doors of the restaurant and started to say their goodbyes. "Frisk, you have some un-touched talent. You should consider traveling with me this summer and do a few performances. I think your singing voice could really get the crowd roaring my, I mean, our names."
'No thanks, I think I'll stay here for the summer if that's okay.' Frisk went back to using ASL.
"Oh well, I didn't like to do duets anyway. Stay safe my little beauties, and I'll see you at my next performance." Mettaton said as he started to head to his limo.
Frisk waved goodbye, but Chara still felt uneasy being around Frisk. Frisk took notice and asked in ASL: 'What's wro-'
"Frisk, I know you won't do it, but could you please ask in 'your' voice? Please?" Chara uneasily asked.
Frisk hesitated for a second but gave in to their wishes. "W-what's the matter, C-Chara?"
Frisk could see them smile a little and then responded with: "Nothing, it's just I feel more um, comfortable hearing you speak."
Frisk started to blush and looked away in embarrassment.
Chara then cleared their throat. "I think we should call Toriel and see if she'll give us a lift."
Frisk nodded and the texted Toriel. Toriel texted back, agreeing to give them a ride home and it was a few minutes until she arrived in her sedan. The ride back was more awkward for Chara because they choose to sit in the back with Frisk. The conversations between Toriel and Frisk seemed to have kept them from noticing Chara's uneasiness sitting next to Frisk. But what Chara didn't know, was that Frisk already knew that they were slowly falling for them, and all they needed to do was give them one more push to make them fall over the edge, and straight into their arms.
Thus ends phase two. I think I had the most fun with this chapter to be honest, and if you have read my stuff before, you would know that I do make song parodies and song fics, so I hoped you enjoyed some of the selections I used in this chapter. Now here is the list of songs that was used in the middle of the chapter: (Note the songs in the chapter had been modified slightly, so original song lyrics may vary)
Let Me Drive My Van (into Your Heart): Composure Rebecca Sugar and performed by: Tom Scharpling
